A very sweet story about the death of a marriage and how sometimes going home can help you find your future. Katelyn is served divorce papers from her husband of 20 years the summer before their twins start college. All of the sudden without any responsibilities to her old life, except for her annoying mother in law, Katelyn is able to return home. She sets out with Shirley, her mother in law, to visit her Mom Birdie in her home town in Texas. There she reacquaints herself with her high school boyfriend, old neighbors, and her love of painting. Why did she give all this up for a husband who no longer wants her? Katelyn discovers herself again and to the reader's advantage, with the help of the crazy town characters. A very light read about finding your true self. And how going home again could actually help not hinder. Thank you First to Read for the galley in exchange for an honest review.
